Why does Ronan want to destroy this planet/race?@JohnSmithOptional - Can you explain what sources you used? AFAIK there never was a Kree-Xandar war in the comics, so it's possible the cinematic version of the Kree might differ from the comic version (e.g. was Ronan ever portrait as a genocidal maniac in the comics?). - And are you saying the Ronan didn't actually go 'rogue', but that his actions were sanctioned by the Kree empire?

To which degree are movies filmed simultaneously in different languages?The Oscar nominated Kon-Tiki was shot in two languages. This NYT article explains why, and it also talks a bit about the history of "multiple language versions": In the end what killed such films was simple economics... Making multiple versions of a movie proved far more expensive than the alternatives that emerged — subtitles and dubbing — and by 1933 Hollywood had abandoned the practice...

Are more movie stars acting in TV shows nowadays (and if so, why)?[continued]... Generally I would consider US televison to be part of Hollywood, as the TV networks and cable channels have ties with movie studios, e.g. 'ABC <-> Disney', 'NBC <-> Universal', 'HBO & TNT <-> Warner', 'FX <-> Fox', ... - And movie actors doing television aren't really 'lost' to movies. Bryan Cranston did Total Recall and Godzilla, Matthew McConaughey stars in Interstellar, and Jeff Daniels, Peter Dinklage, Steve Buscemi, Halle Barry,... they all have upcoming movies. So it's not like they have to choose one or the other, they can do both.

Are more movie stars acting in TV shows nowadays (and if so, why)?@JohnSmithOptional - Can you explain what you mean with exodus from Hollywood? I'm not sure Hollywood has "lost" Steven Spielberg, he produced e.g. the Transformers movies and is also involved with the upcoming Jurassic World (plus, he is currently producing the TV shows Under the Dome, Falling Skies and Extant).
